How can I edit the boot configuration data (BCD) store of another disk?

Question

In my application I had a requirement of notifying the user about the pending applications.

So in the mdiParent I set a BackgroundWorker which keeps querying the database to get any pending application, and if it finds any display it on the Tooltip on the MdiParent

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(2000);
}

private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
    fillnotification();
}    

public void fillnotification()
{
    int pending = 0;
    if( Program.USERPK != 0)
    {    
        DataTable dt = nftrans.getnotification();
        pending = dt.Rows.Count;

        String message = "You Have  " + pending + " Applications Pending For Approval";

        // toolTip1.SetToolTip(lblStatus , message);
        toolTip1.Show(message , this, lblStatus.Location);
    }
}

but when I run the solution I am getting an exception:

Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'MainForm' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

I understand its due to two different threads but cannot sort this out. Can any one suggest a solution? I tried the ideas I read in related questions But cannot find a correct solution

Solution 1

Run your BCDEDIT commands using the /store parameter:

bcdedit /store E:\boot\BCD /enum

Solution 2

You can edit a non-system BCD by simply dropping it on Visual BCD Editor icon.

The system BCD is opened on start of program by default.

The concept of Visual BCD Editor is to avoid typing and execute all commands through visual selection in a graphical environment.
